Ukra, full name André Filipe Alves Monteiro, plays for Rio Ave in Portugal and has been the subject of rumours pertaining to a move to Newcastle since way back in 2009.

Having signed for Portuguese giants Porto in 2007 big things were expected of the lad. 4 loan spells followed, including his last one to Rio Ave, which sealed a permanent deal in 2013. He’s had a decent spell at Rio Ave since, scoring 4 goals in 25 games but generally offering attacking threat and creativity.

At 26 years of age now is his real opportunity for the big time and Newcastle may feel him worth a punt.
